On Friday, February 16th 2018 Afroditi Psarra will be giving an artist talk at Reed College in Portland, invited by Prof. Geraldine Ondrizek.

"Ubiquitous computing, the Maker movement and the Craft Revival gave rise to a generation of e-textiles practitioners coming from different fields (art, design, engineering, physics etc) that explore art and science by experimenting with wearable technologies. Can the idea of hacking the body trigger new scientific research or tactical methods of resistance? Could e-textiles be used as an educational tool to raise awareness towards the massive production and consumption of technology?"
